Constructing Colour Image Databases using BTC for Efficient Storage and Effective Retrieval
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a simple image coding method, the block truncation coding (BTC) technique, as a novel approach to the construction of colour image databases. It is shown that BTC can not only be used to compress the images thus achieving storage eflciency. the BTC codes can also be used directly to construct image features for effective image retrieval. From the BTC code we have developed an image feature termed the BTC colour co-occurrence matrix (BCCM) as an effective measure of image contents. Experimental results are presented to show that BCCM is comparable to state of the art techniques, such as color correlogram, in image retrieval.

Content based Video Retrieval Systems Performance based on Multiple Features and Multiple Frames using SVM
In this paper, Content Based Video Retrieval Systems performance is analysed and compared for three different types of feature vectors. These types of features are generated using three different algorithms; Block Truncation Coding (BTC) extended for colors, Kekre’s Fast Codebook Generation (KFCG) algorithm and Gabor filters. The feature vectors are extracted from multiple frames instead of usi...

Introduction: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a database. In medical applications, CBIR is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. As the volume of pictorial information stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...
متن کاملImage indexing using a colored pattern appearance model
We introduce a new method for colour image indexing and content-based image retrieval. An image is divided into small sub-images and the visual appearance of which is characterised by a coloured pattern appearance model. The statistics of the local visual appearance of the image are then computed as measures of the global visual appearance of the image. The visual appearance of the small sub-im...

This paper presents a new application of a well-studied image coding technique, namely block truncation coding (BTC). It is shown that BTC can not only be used for compressing color images, it can also be conveniently used for content-based image retrieval from image databases. From the BTC compressed stream (without performing decoding), we derive two image content description features, one te...
